Dnn's Trade RevIeyV.


NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-R. G.. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review of trade
say: Speculative booming and CONNER
cial embarrassments, anxiety abroad
and uncertainties connected with the
meeting of congress have made up
during the week nearly all the specu-
lative market. There is furious ex-
element on corners about, and arti-
fetal advances are forced by powerful
cliques, aided by an abundance of
money, but prices check legitimate
business. Industries are hesitating
and monetary stringency at many
points results in slow collections and
some important failures.
AT Denver collections are fair and
money in increased and sharp demand.
At Kansas City collections are dull
and money close.
At St. Paul collections are fairly
satisfactory.
At Omaha collections are fair with
money easier.
At Milwaukee the demand is urgent,
the market stringent and collections
somewhat backward.
at Chicago speculative demands are
increasing, and meanwhile calls from
the country do not abate.
at Detroit business is somewhat
quiet, and the grain trade requiring less
than usual, but though money is easier
the rates are to 8 per cent.
At Cincinnati the banks have not
money for outsiders, and the market is
close 6 to per cent.
At Cleveland deposits improve but
money is still close.
At Philadelphia collections are some
what slow. Heavy blocks of paper
await sales and considerable New
York paper is being offered.
At Boston western paper is offered
at z per cent, some of it endorsed by
banks while the home demand is large.
The dry goods trade is moderate, as
usual for the season, without improve
ment in Woolens. Considerable sales
of cashmere at prices only little be-
low last year are reported, and in over
coatings prices are considered low, but
recent advances in cottons are sustain
ed in sales.
The boot and shoe trade is in good
shape, but leather is dull and hides de-
pressed.
In groceries there is large volume
of business, but speculation in coffee
has driven out buyers SO that quota
tions are entirely nominal, and the
sugar trust has advanced the price OF
refined.
Iron still hesitates though best
grades are scarce and prices at Pitts
burg 10 lower for all grades except
charcoal. In bar iron there is a per-
ceptible shrinkage of demand. Nails
are dull and lower, and steel rail buy
ers hold off. The hating in the market
for securities continues, partly because
of foreign sales partly the result OF
rate disputes, and partly because late
returns show nearly as large an in
crease in expenses as in earnings.
The wheat market has risen 2 cents,
and corn as much with great excite
ment.
Oil and cotton have been stronger,
and the boom in pork products which
lifted prices has met reaction.
In all directions speculation is
marked by that excited activity which
renders legitimate dealers cautious.
The business failures during the past
seven days numbered for the United
States 215, Canada 20, total of pa,
as compared with POT last week, and
242 the corresponding week last year.

Revenue Raiders.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. "a
number of revenue officers raided South
Mountain yesterday in search of illicit
distilleries, which they found and de-
stroyed. They then hid themselves in
the bushes and watched for their game.
In due time ten moonshiners made
their appearance, and as soon as they
saw the revenue officers they opened
fire on them with double barreled shot
guns. The officers returned the fire
and fer ten minutes a terrible battle
was waged from behind trees and rocks.
After the moenshiners had used up all
of their ammunition they left the field,
but one of their number was carried off
mortally wounded. The revenue Off
GERS will again raid the mountain to-
day, hoping to capture the whole party.
They have gone to Collinsville for re-
Inducements.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-Thirteen
f@tuses Of about five months gesta-

jars in the cellar of drug store in

that they had been in the jars for

they are the result of criminal opera

Agricultural Report.

Agricultural Report.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The annual
report of the commissioner of agricul-
ture was laid before the president to-
day. The commissioner recommends
substantially the abolition of the seed
division of the department, and the
transfer of its duties to the state and
territorial and experimental stations.
The commissioner indicates a disap-
prevail of the proposition that the de-
partment should be made an executive
department, with member of the
cabinet at its head. He gives history
of the work of the bureau of animal
industry, which was read before the
recent cattle growers convention in
the unavoidable loss inflicted on the
farmers of Illinois by the cattle
quarantine. The commissioner says
it is yet too early to make special
statement of the results in detail of the
present years experiments in the de-
velopment of sorghum sugar manu-
facture. But" he adds, enough
is known already, 1 think, to enable
this country to anticipate at an early
from plant as easy of cultivation as
corn, but little circumscribed by
climatic influences, and one whose
products have value equal to the cost
of raising" In his chapter upon the
departments experiments in silk reel
ing, the commissioner says the expert
ments have not yet reached the point
of paying their own expenses,
but that was hardly to be
| hoped for with a plant SO
limited. Another years experience
it is expected, will show what could be
done under satisfactory conditions. The
commissioner describes at some length
the work of the chronological, statisti-
cal, microscopical, forestry and other
divisions, and sets forth the usefulness
of their accomplishments He
further recommends that the
public printer be authorized
| to furnish to the agricultural press OF
the country at the mere cost of the
labor and material, electrotypes OF
such illustrations of the department as
the editors may desire, holding
that many of these merit
a much wider circulation thar
they can get in the reports of the
department. The commissioner say.
the building of reservoirs among tn.
Rocky Mountains for the storage of al
immense volume of water wastes
should command the early attention o
congress.

morning of the partial destruction of
Eminence, Kentucky, by fire. The
flames were still raging at the hour of
going to press, about one-third OF the
business portion of the place being al
ready consumed. No chance of check
ing the conhagration existed, the only
hope being that the wind might not
carry the flames beyond the block
which was burning. The fire began in
Duncan's jewelry store and was under
good Roadway before it was discovered.
The town was alarmed and all of
the citizens turned out, and every
possible endeavor made to confine the
flames to the jewelry store, but to no
| avail. The wind was blowing hard and
the flames were communicated to Mil
ler's grocery, then to the town hall,
Moody & PrOctor's drug store, Mari s.
| Brewers lumber and coal yard, O'Con-
nel's butcher shop and a large carriage
factory. All except the latter were
completely destroyed and the flames
were rapidly consuming it at last &C
counts, with many other places in inn
mediate danger. There were but little
hopes that the flames could be checked
would be destroyed. No estimate of
the loss can yet be given.
